[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Jacob was
a dirt poor farm boy
Raised at the fork in the road
in a clap[C]board house
And Rachael was a land
baron's daugh[G]ter[C]
Born with a silver spoon in her [G]mouth
Her daddy said he wouldn't
stand
For Rachael to waste her life
with a com[C]mon man
[G]He tri[Am]ed hard to keep them apart
[G]But [C]you can't draw lines in
a young [D]girl's heart

[Verse 2]
So [C]late one night by the harvest moon
Jacob climbed a ladder up
to Rachael's room
He [G]knew his place, it was right beside her
[C]Step by step up to her world
Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl
girl
And [G]gettin' caught didn't
seem to matter
'Cause [Am]heaven was [G]waitin' [C]at t[D]he top of

[Interlude 1]
Jacob's ladder
[G][D][G][C][D][G][C][D][E]

[Verse 3]
It'll [A]be five years September
Since her daddy found a ladder and
a note on her win[D]dowsill
He swore he'd never forgive them
But nothin' melts a heart
like [A]a grandchild will
Now she climbs up on his knee
[D]Says, [A]"Grandpa, tell a story,
the one [D]about me"
[Bm]He thinks back and his eyes shine
[A]Says, [D]"Listen Child, once upon a time"
[E]

[Verse 4]
[A]Lat[D]e one night by the harvest moon
Your daddy climbed a ladder to
your mama's room
[A]He knew his place, it was right beside her
[D]Step by step up to her world
Head over heels for my little girl
And [A]here you are,
that's all that matters
'Cause [Bm]heaven [A]was [D]watin' at
[E]the top of Jacob's ladder
[A]

[Verse 5]
[F#m]
Oh, an an[Bm]gel was waitin' at [E]the top
